  1. He gave up a full-count walk and allowed some foul balls on 2-strike counts.
  2. Ramirez flies out to end the first. 0-0. Pitch Counts- Zambrano: 20 Jennings: 12
  3. Theriot gets it started with a single to left. Geaux Cubs!
  4. Reading is exercise for the mind. It will be good for you.
  5. I think Cuban putting together a front office group that is palatable to the other owners could also help him gain approval.
  6. Just a reminder, if I win it all then I'll add four more to the lottery for a month of premium.
  7. This exchange is especially important in my opinion...
  8. Thought you all would like to read it. Link.
  9. I think the chances are pretty good. Especially if he resigns with the Yankees. They are already getting 33 million from the Rangers for ARod.I've heard that if he opts out though they lose that money. I don't know if that's is true just what I heard on the radio. Yeah. That's why the Yankees wanted an extension before he opts out. I've also heard the Yankees have said if he opts out, then they will not get involved in the bidding for him.
  10. I got Vance beat by 56 days!! And four votes so far as well. :(
  11. Cuban needs to convince the other owners sans Reinsdorf that his being in the league will help them make money. All in all, money talks. If Cuban can convince the others that they will make more money with him than without him, they'll let him in.
  12. Forbes evaluation of team worth seems to be a little off when compared to these sale prices. (Braves and the potential Cubs sale) http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/04/17/06mlb_baseball_valuations_land.html Yeah I don't see the Braves being worth $400M when they were just bought for three times that. Those estimates all seem a little low, and I think the top end teams are, in some cases, worth considerably more than what they were appraised at. The Braves were sold for $1.2 billion? When did that happen? http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2764181 I think that total is misleading because there were stock shares changing hands as well.... Yeah. I don't think the Braves were priced anywhere near that. From the article it looks like Liberty Media gave up $1.27 billion in Time Warner shares in return for Braves, some magazines, and 1 billion in cash. Did I misread that? That's what it looks like to me, so it looks like this was a stocks for Braves trade.
  13. I'd think the Boss would favor Cuban. I also think Hicks and Cuban have a good relationship. I'm sure there's going to be a lot of backroom back and forth over this. In the end, hopefully Maverick Mark wins out.
